Hidden and indirect costs

Worth budgeting for
⚠  ThoughtSpot’s public pricing pages indicate that some capabilities are not included in base tiers and are instead sold as add-ons, which means the final subscription can rise depending on the features a buyer needs. The pricing page also mixes user-based, usage-based, and custom-quote packaging, so buyers may need to request sales assistance to understand the total cost for Enterprise or embedded use cases.
⚠  The startup program says there are no hidden costs and no hidden seat fees, but it also includes usage guardrails and a defined query allowance. If a customer grows beyond those guardrails or outside the eligibility criteria, the startup bundle may no longer be the right fit and they may need to upgrade to standard plans.
